Magician drawn three for Million Magician has been drawn in stall three for the Arlington Million in Chicago on Saturday night. The Aidan O'Brien-trained colt is no stranger to big-race success in America, having claimed the Breeders' Cup Turf at Santa Anita in November. Four runs this season have seen the son of Galileo claim the Mooresbridge Stakes, before finishing second to Noble Mission in the Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh and then to The Fugue in the Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot. His most recent outing was when sixth to Taghrooda in the King George at Ascot. Joseph O'Brien takes the mount for his father. Ryan Moore was on board when Magician won at the Breeders' Cup but is in opposition this time as he partners course and distance winner Finnegans Wake (drawn four) for Dale Romans. British raider Side Glance was an excellent third to Real Solution for Andrew Balding in this race 12 month ago and tries again, this time from stall seven in the hands of Jamie Spencer. The Chad Brown-trained Real Solution (drawn six) bids for a famous back-to-back success.
